Description

2-Methylpentane-D14 is a deuterated isotopologue of 2-methylpentane, where all hydrogen atoms are replaced with deuterium. This high-purity, isotopically labeled compound is essential for applications requiring minimal spectral interference and high chemical stability. It serves as a critical analytical standard and solvent in advanced research and development for the pharmaceutical, chemical, and materials science industries.

Application

• NMR Spectroscopy: Used as an internal standard or deuterated solvent for nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) analysis, providing a lock signal and minimizing proton background.
• Mass Spectrometry: Employed as a stable isotope-labeled internal standard for quantitative analysis via GC-MS or LC-MS, enabling precise measurement and method validation.
• Chemical Reaction Studies: Acts as a deuterium source or inert deuterated solvent in mechanistic studies, kinetic isotope effect (KIE) experiments, and catalytic research.
• Polymer & Materials Science: Utilized in the synthesis and analysis of deuterated polymers and advanced materials for neutron scattering studies.
• Pharmaceutical R&D: Critical for drug metabolism and pharmacokinetics (DMPK) studies, serving as a tracer or solvent in the development of deuterated active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).
• Analytical Reference Standard: Provides a certified reference material for calibrating instruments and ensuring accuracy in forensic, environmental, and industrial quality control labs.

Quality Control

Our 2-Methylpentane-D14 is manufactured under controlled conditions to ensure exceptional isotopic and chemical purity. Each batch undergoes rigorous analysis, including NMR, GC-MS, and Karl Fischer titration, to confirm compliance with stringent specifications. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing isotopic enrichment (typically ≥99 atom % D), chemical purity, and physical properties is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and reliability for your critical applications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat, sparks, and open flames. Due to its highly volatile nature, keep the container tightly sealed when not in use. Recommended storage temperature is 2-8°C to maintain long-term stability.
